"I've
never heard anything better in a ribbon microphone than Royer’s
new R-122, ever! Something happened when they put that amp and larger
transformer in there and this is my new favorite ribbon microphone.
I always use ribbon mics for their warmth and sweet high frequency
response characteristics, but there is something truly unique about
the powered R-122's sound quality. My pal Omar Hakim was bouncing
off the walls when he heard the first playback with R-122’s
on overheads on his drum set - they just sound absolutely fantastic!
Royer really nailed it with the R-122."

sat down in the studio to talk a bit about ribbon microphones,
good microphone care, and Royer ribbons. Enjoy the MP3’s,
coming to you from one of the coolest, most respected and successful
music engineers ever. |
